if it was a wmv hd file you would be able to stream it from the pc to the xbox
and watch it that way

i doubt avi is supprted


to even play hd dvd films you need to upgrade your dvd drive
to the usb one below

i doubt if this will count as true HD but, use the tv out from your graphics card (most cards from the last 4 years have them as standard) connect this to a scart adaptor, then take the audio to the scard by using a phono to minijack lead, then set the resolution of the pc to a hd standard (1280*720 or similar) and see how it looks. although a few mates have hd tv's and most have a d-sub monitor connector for connecting to a pc and using as a monitor, so have a look :ok
